AUSTRALIAN PROSPERITY
THE PKINCIPAL ELEMENT
Received April 3, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, April 2. The "Spectator" says that population is the principal element in Australian prosperity, and defence. It is some satisfaction to know, adds the paper, that public opinion in bydney is not quite easy about the situation. Married couples, with families, naturally, are not welcomed at stations worked on the line suggested by the Kev. Matthews in his letter, but taxing the employers' out of existence would not be a benefit to marvied couples wishing to retain both their situations and their [children. More serious, is the treatment to managers and workmen by joint stock companies and non-resident squatters. Probably in the end it will yield beiter servants ana larger profits. At ibe bottom of half the economic troubles, whereof we hear so much, lies the excessive taxation on behalf of Socialism, otherwise "ailed "social reform and protectipn," or some other equally delusive alias. Until the error is corrected the mischief mentioned has a poor chance of abatement.
